over-caffeinated sugary drink company prostitution aside it was a bloody impressive thing to do, what he must have thought as he stepped off the platform must have been mind scrambling.
 

I was pleasantly surprised by the (relative) low key sponsorship... I was expecting a scrolling over-caffeinated sugary drink company banner top and bottom of the screen etc... and it was really just badges and logo's (he didnt even drink a can on the way up )

No need for company sponsors plastered all over his sheepskin jacket. I'm also loving the insulation tape round the legs and on the box on his back.

It was underwritten by the US Defence Department who tend not to advertise their funders.

That said, over-caffeinated sugary drink company have an official 'low key' marketing policy with this kind of stuff.  I would too mind, when most of the previous attempts have ended in fatality.

And would it have happened without over-caffeinated sugary drink company?  No probably not, its cost a fortune, but for them its still cheaper than paying Farcebook/Google/etc. for banner space.

Must have been some feeling when he managed to get out of the spin and knew he had it in the bag / wasn't going to die!

I have to say fair dues to over-caffeinated sugary drink company, they really are making great contributions to adventure sports, their climbing projects as well.

Ethics of some of their climbing sponsorees (?) aside,  and as much as I hate the stuff yes, fair dues for making things like this possible.

the speed of light gaff is a shocker.

over-caffeinated sugary drink company must be putting alot of money in to differant sports which cant be a bad thing
the sports they back though have alot of risk,some of the d/h mountain biking or the freestyle mtx are pushing the limits.i wonder how over-caffeinated sugary drink company would react to a death at one of their events.that wouldnt be good publicity.

[Bubba]

I think that as long as they weren't shown to be negligent then a death at one of their events would probably just enhance their "Xtreme!" credentials.  Somebody could easily die or be crippled at something like Rampage if they landed hard enough.

There have been some fairly serious accidents at X Fighters. Don't think there's been any fatalities though.

I'm quite happy for over-caffeinated sugary drink company to pour cash into various sports/adverture endeavours as part of their advertising budget. Unlike most advertising its actually pretty harmless, namely because their product is fucking grim shit, and no amount of exposure or product placement is going to make me drink any. Its like having something sponsored by Dog Turd Burgers, Puke-In-A-Glass, or AIDS Cigarettes.

Reminds me of this one

[Bubba]

Actually, I reckon more people have died from the adverse effects of drinking too much over-caffeinated sugary drink company than have died in their sponsored events.
